Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo are still criticizing the Turks for being shameless and playing dirty tricks if they can't beat them. However, they are also trying to make insinuations... Li Kai can't laugh or cry. Do you dare to believe that kind of nonsense?
If Huairen is really a prince, how can your majesty dare to use Huairen to lead the army now that he has taken over the throne?
Li Shan didn't say anything, just thinking about it in his heart. Nowadays, the civil strife in Turks... is in chaos. It is said that Tuli Khan has a great advantage in the Ashina tribe and even hooked up with Princess Yicheng. The former Sui princess may be on her fifth husband.
Dubu Khan, imitating Jieli Khan, is trying his best to win over Tiele and other other tribes to compete. However, Ashina She'er's methods in this regard are much better than Jieli Khan, and it is said that the effect is good.
But in this case, Ashina Sheer actually still had the intention to cause trouble for him. Based on this, Li Shan felt that Tuli Khan's chances of winning were not great.
However, it is possible to detect the news that Ashina Sheer intends to use a divorce plan. It is obvious that Tuli Khan also has an informant around his opponent. He can also detect the specific identity of Anma. Obviously, the status of the informant is not low, and he is very important. Possibly a confidant of Ashina Sheer.
Li Shan sincerely hopes that the two cousins who love and kill each other can die together.
If he had to choose one, Li Shan hoped to keep Tuli Khan.
It's not because in history Tuli Khan was attached to the Tang Dynasty, but because although Ashina She'er may not have enough abilities and talents, he is indeed stronger than his opponents in terms of vision and structure.
After Liu Heitao, Gao Kaidao, and Yuan Junzhang died or surrendered, Liang Shi became the last Chinese warlord force supported by the Turks. He was also the last buffer zone between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.
Ashina She'er was released to Wuyuan County at the beginning of the year. After suffering for so long, he suddenly took action to kill Jieli Khan when Master Liang asked for help several times and was about to lose his support. He turned around and met Tuli. The Khan formed an alliance, and then used his plan to defeat Rengui, and once again captured the three states.
Obviously, Ashina Sheer, who is well versed in Sinology, sees things very far. Once China is unified, the grasslands will be cut down in the future.
This Dubu Khan must have known from history books that a powerful empire called "Han" was established in China hundreds of years ago. Their founding emperor Liu Bang was also extremely insulted by the Xiongnu.
The Huns at that time were more powerful than the Turks today, and they treated the emerging empire arrogantly. However, soon after, they found that among their opponents were Wei Qing, who defeated the Huns and left a name in history; Xu's Huo Qubing; later Chen Tang who threatened that "anyone who offends a strong Han will be punished no matter how far away"; Dou Gu who almost destroyed the Xiongnu and restrained Shi Yanran.
The Huns who once dominated the grasslands maintained their confrontation with the Han people for many years, and finally declined, annihilated, and were replaced by other tribes.
Ashina She'er believed that once the Tang Dynasty became strong, let alone the grassland, the Tang Dynasty's soldiers might stand on the land of the Western Regions, and the fate of the Turks would not be any better than that of the Huns.
Therefore, Ashina Sheer chose to take action at that time to support Liang Shidu to restrain the Tang Dynasty. Both himself and the Turks needed Liang Shidu's existence.
But Tuli Khan obviously did not have this idea.
Li Shan vaguely felt that perhaps the death of Jieli Khan was not necessarily a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, because a more powerful and ambitious Khan was rising.
Li Shan was thinking about it in his mind while chatting with Wen Yanbo and Dou Gui. After a while, Li Daoxuan, who received a letter from Beijing, also rushed over.
"Don't worry, Wan Guifei is sensible and knows the pros and cons." Li Daoxuan said sternly: "When I can return to the court, I will summon Daosheng to meet Huairen for my brother."
As a relative, Dou Gui knew the reason and explained to Li Shan: "When King Huaiyang was a child in Hedong County, he was raised by Concubine Wan Guifei. Their relationship is extraordinary."
Li Shan smiled and nodded, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Daoxuan."
"Already sent a letter." Li Daoxuan is still somewhat sure about this. His father Li Zhi died early, and his mother also passed away when he was young. He has always been with his cousin Li Yuan and was raised by Concubine Wan Gui. He is very familiar with Li Zhiyun and Wan Xuandao.
"By the way, Mr. Yan Bo, the young master still refuses to agree. Have you sent all the cotton armor?" Li Shan asked casually: "Are there any other armors, arrows, ordnance?"
"Ordnance and feather arrows were successively inspected and put into the warehouse by the former governor Shi Li Qianyou." Wen Yanbo responded: "But the cotton armor is not ordnance. I remember that it was taken by Wang Junhao and kept in the warehouse of Baiquan County."
"That's good, that's good..." Li Shan smiled and nodded, but his eyes were a little wandering.
Dou Gui frowned slightly, "When are you going to march?"
"March?" Li Zhaode repeated without a sound, but looking at the people around him, not only Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo, but also Li Kai and Li Daoxuan had expressions on their faces, and even Zhang Wenguan was not surprised.
Li Shan smiled and said, "Zhao De finds it difficult to advance?"
"It's snowing so heavily..." Li Zhaode hesitated, "And Guyuan's terrain is dangerous, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we advance at this time, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."
Li Shan sighed, this is the truth, but when he, a time traveler, came to this era, the storm he stirred up not only involved himself, but also those historical figures whose names have left history, and even this era. .
The early civil strife in the Turks and the reversal of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's status as heirs were all greatly influenced by Li Shan himself. The most critical thing was Pei Shiju... Princess Pingyang mentioned implicitly in her letter that Pei Shiju had secretly invited several famous doctors in the past month. Maybe it won't last much longer.
One thing is certain, Pei Shiju will not die like this, and will definitely cause some troubles. Li Shan doesn't know what role he can play by returning to the court, but how can he watch helplessly?
But if you want to return to the DPRK, you must have an excuse. Li Shan is ready to find a perfect excuse... The most critical point is that after he returns to the DPRK, the military commander must be one of his own, not even Dou Gui. , Su Dingfang is the only one who can shoulder the important task.
But if you want to find a perfect excuse, then the next plan must be completed perfectly. Li Shan's eyes gradually became firm.
"Mr. Lang."
Li Shan turned his head and saw Zhu Ba outside the door, and waved, "What's the matter?"
"Fan Shiyi is back."
"Are you all back?"
"yes."
Li Shanqing couldn't help but licked his dry lips, stood up and said with a smile: "Yesterday Zhaode sent a calf, you can eat here..."
Li Daoxuan joked: "Broken his leg again?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed, Li Shan rolled his eyes at Li Daoxuan, and asked the guards to take out the grill under the eaves, but he, Dou Gui, and Wen Yanbo quietly left.
"Brother Huairen, what are you going to do?"
The only one who could ask such a question without hesitation was the loud-mouthed Li Zhaode. Li Daoxuan and Li Kai looked at each other and said nothing.
